(b) human
What type of vehicles are evolving into self-driving machines equipped with GPS controls?
Tractors.
What do the sensors attached to cows check?
cows' temperature, movement, and behavior
Where is the information from drones and animal sensors stored in a smart farm system?
The cloud.
Check "T (true)" or "F (false)" and fix the wrong part.
(1) Survey drones fly automatically based on GPS.
(2) Infrared images can check the CO2 emissions and see if plants are healthy or not.
(1) T
(2) F : CO2 -> heat
What do weeding robots help reduce by minimizing the use of herbicides?
Weeding robots help reduce pollution caused by herbicide use.
What software feature in smart tractors helps minimize soil erosion by recommending the shortest route across the field?
Optimized route planning software.
What specific change in a cow can sensors detect to identify the early signs of illness?
Sensors can detect if a cow's back legs begin to lower, which is an early sign of illness.
What do farmers do with the analyzed data in smart farms?
Farmers use the analyzed data to make informed decisions about an animal, a field, or the entire farm.
What type of lens do drones use to detect plant health by sensing heat differences?
Drones use infrared lenses to detect heat differences, which indicate the health of plants.
How do fertilizing robots lower fertilizer costs?
Fertilizing robots precisely apply the correct amount of fertilizer in the correct location, reducing waste and lowering costs.
What does optimized route planning software in smart tractors do?
Optimized route planning software recommens the shortest route across the field.
How do sensors benefit farmers when it comes to monitoring the reproductive health of cows?
Sensors can sense if a cow is pregnant, helping farmers manage their livestock more efficiently.
How are farmers' decisions implemented in smart farms?
Farmers' decisions are programmed into agribots and smart tractors immediately.
Name three field conditions that drones can analyze using aerial images
Drones can analyze weed growth, ground moisture, and soil conditoins using aerial images
What technology do harvesting robots use to pick fruits and vegetables without causing damage?
Harvesting robots use 3D imaging cameras to pick fruits and vegetables without damaging them.
How do self-driving tractors improve the accuracy of planting and harvesting crops?
Self-driving tractors are accurate down to the millimeter, allowing them to plant seeds in the correct place and harvest crops without unnecessary movements.
How do sensors save farmers time and reduce veterinary costs?
Sensors save farmers time by eliminating the need for constant close monitoring and reduce veterinary costs by detecting illnesses early, allowing for quicker intervention.
What are two main benefits of ICT-based agriculture in addressing future food challenges?
ICT-based agriculture maximizes food production while minimizing environmental impact.
How do drones help farmers improve crop production?
Drones help farmers improve crop production by analyzing field conditions, such as soil moisture and plant health, allowing them to take better care of their crops and increase both quality and quantity.
What are two key advantages of agribots that help address the challenges faced by modern farming?
Agribots can operate 24/7, 365 days a year, solving labor shortages and increasing the speed and accuracy of farm work.
What conditions can smart, self-driving tractors operate in that traditional tractors may struggle with?
Smart tractors can operate during low visibility conditions such as rain, dust, fog, and darkness.
What are two significant benefits of using sensors to monitor the health of individual cows?
Sensors help cows live longer, healthier lives and improve milk production, benefiting both the animals and the farmers.
Why is ICT considered essential for the future of agriculture?
ICT enables the efficient use of people, equipment, and information, ensuring sustainable farming practices to feed a growing population.
